if it looks like something should plug into it then it probably diagnostic test point were you can check for faults thats the one on mine anyway hope this helps

Hi thanks for the prompt replies!

No it is not the diagnostic plug that I am asking about. It looks like it is a PCB in a very small flat black plastic box & it is pop riveted to the coils bracket. It has wires coming from it, not pipes and has a connector plug so that you can easily replace it.

Hope this helps you to ID it for me

Regards

Hi,

A photo, even one from a phone camera, would help ID this thing immensely...

I was wondering if it was coil ballast, but maybe not. As CTC says, a photo would help - if you don't have a camera, a part number would help us to help you

Right, 'tiss well dark here now. So a photo will have to wait till tomorrow. Will probably be in the evening as Elaine wil be out in the car from early morn'.
Will try to find some sort of number from it as well.
Thanks ever so for all replies so far.
We shall ID this thing!

Hi All

Managed to get the photo before Elaine went off to work so here it is.
It is the flat black plastic 'box' right next to the coil & directly behind where the HT lead connects.
Cheers.

if its got 4 pins then it will be the ignition coil multi plug terminal 100 percent sure all iknow is that you can use it to check the powere to youre coil etc any way its all to do with ecu and timing i thinks and is only present on the turbo engines !!!!!!!!!
